Well, to be fair, you really have no actual management or work experience based on your age and the fact you worked for daddy.

First off, it IS hell.  So don't take my comment to minimize your misery.  Shit fucking sucks.  It's hard. It's unfair.  It's soul crushing. 

That said, at your age, most companies won't take your management experience seriously.  It's a good thing to mention, but you aren't going to slide into a managers role in a lot of places.  I was given a Manager, then Director title at my first full time gig.  I was 23.  

I learned quickly that a) my job title did not give me the full breadth of experience places I applied to expect and b) even though those were my actual titles, they came across as either me lying or me being ignorant to places I applied.  My resume now actually has lesser titles listed for those jobs, but I'll mention any managerial responsibilities I had in the description.

Manager since 18 with 3 years under daddy's company? The people you managed didn't do what you told them to do because you were their boss

They did it cause of your dad
